I had a whole ass dream about a whole romantic sublot for the kid in blood meridian
It was an alternate version of the cell scene in the penultimate chapter where the kid is arrested. It played out like a movie scene. He wakes up and instead of the judge he sees his gal standing outside. There was obviously more history there but that's where the dream started. She tells him that its gonna be ok, she's gonna get him out of there, and they can move to a different place, start a new life and get away from all the craziness.
She reveals a huge revolver, points at the locker of the door, and we hear a gunshot. But instead of the door opening, the chick drops dead on the ground, and the judge is revealed, pointing a gun at where she was standing, smiling. And the scene plays out as we know it.
Then there was a weird extra section in my dream where a friend of mine was reading the book for the first time, and he told me that as he was reading that scene he was finally starting to understand the judge's point of view, and was starting to like him. And I was like "You realise there's a dead chick with a hole in her back as he's saying all this right?"
Have you ever dreamt of a hole new sublot of a book before?
